A heavy, rounded display face with inflated, blobby letterforms and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and irregularly tapered, with small droplet-like notches and puddle shapes carved into the bottoms of many glyphs, creating a wet/ooze texture. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, and terminals range from smoothly bulbous to slightly hooked, giving the alphabet a lively, handmade rhythm. Figures and capitals carry the same chunky mass and uneven detailing, keeping the texture consistent across the set.
Best used for short display settings such as posters, playful branding, kid-focused materials, comic-style titles, party invitations, and expressive packaging. It’s especially effective when you want a bold silhouette with a gooey, textured personality rather than a clean reading texture.
The font reads as mischievous and comedic, like cartoon lettering dipped in ink or slime. Its drippy details and bouncy proportions add a sense of motion and messiness that feels lighthearted rather than scary, making it well-suited to humorous, offbeat themes.
This design appears intended as a characterful novelty display font that adds instant personality through exaggerated weight, rounded construction, and drippy cut-in detailing. The goal is strong visual impact and a comedic, slightly messy texture that feels hand-shaped and animated.
The irregular bottom-edge texture is a defining motif, so the face has a strong “treated” look even at larger sizes. Because the counters and joins can get busy, it tends to communicate best in short bursts where the silhouette can do most of the work.
